Where are these stacks being cached?

[Stephen MacLean]

Hi Jacque,

Are you using “load URL” to call those stacks to download?

It will cache the what was called and I had problems getting it to release and get fresh data, etc.

hth,

If the computer has opened that stack before, the old version is shown. On a computer that has never opened the stack before, the new version is shown.

Does the computer cache files even if they aren't web browser temp files? How about the local router? How about the cable broadband router? It seems unlikely that AWS would send a cached version, since all the requests are coming from the same local LAN and I believe AWS would only see the "outside" IP, not the MAC address. But maybe that's wrong?
